With not such an epic forecast, but light winds and a strong convergence in the Avila valley, 7 of us managed to do the trip to Avila and back.  From a group of 15, all but one made it over the pass and of those only one failed to reach Avila, the rest returning a good deal with flights around 70km.

A great day, and the weather sets to improve.  One of the track logs (Canadian Dave) below.
